Neal R. Champion
SKILLS SUMMARY |
I have more than 35 years of experience in system analysis and development and software security for large corporations, small businesses, and U. S. Government contracts. I am focused more on getting the job done right than on knowing how to talk the technology talk; more focused on problem solving than on memorizing terms, acronyms, and syntax. Having help files, manuals, and the internet close by takes care of this.
